This myth, while existing in direct contradiction to the intense discrimination faced by black people in the United States, provided Africans with an inspirational model upon which to improve their lives.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAfricans on African-Americans\u003c\/i\u003e traces the development of the African American myth and the way in which the Liberal Movement in South Africa looked to America for a formula for racial harmony that eluded their troubled country. While highlighting the strength of the African american myth, Gershoni also demonstrates that everywhere the myth had adherents it also had opponents, who insisted that the solution to Africa's ills lay in African culture and African peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yekutiel Gershoni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814730825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814730829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 5.63w x 0.98d","brand":"Yekutiel Gershoni","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48438018146559,"sku":"9780814730829","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_729bf914-8f9c-49df-b526-d387641738ae.jpg?v=1777168240","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/africans-on-african-americans-yekutiel-gershoni-9780814730829","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
